<\/a><\/center>I repeated last year’s easy, delicious end-of-the-year gifts today… These amazing Monster Cookies with a cute little “thank you” tag. This is a Taste of Home recipe, and I can’t imagine a better monster cookie. Yum! <\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/p>\n
1 cup peanut butter
\n1\/2 cup butter, softened
\n1-1\/4 cups packed brown sugar
\n1 cup sugar
\n3 eggs
\n2 teaspoons baking soda
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n4 cups quick-cooking oats
\n1 cup M&M’s
\n1 cup butterscotch chips
\n1 cup salted peanuts
\n2 cups all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
Directions:
\nIn a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add baking soda and vanilla. Add oats, M&M’s, butterscotch chips and peanuts; let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in flour (the dough will be crumbly).<\/p>\n
Shape 1\/4 cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets, about nine cookies on each sheet. Gently flatten cookies. Bake at 325\u00b0 for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: about 2-1\/2 dozen.<\/p>\n
Notes:
\nI decreased the oats by 1\/2 cup and I used old fashioned instead of quick oats. Heaping 1\/4 cup of dough, with M&M’s into top, spread slightly to be 3 to 4 inches across, for a total of 21 cookies. DELICIOUS!!<\/p>\n
